Margaret Thatcher - 1970's interview - Thames television

[@skyrocketautomotive]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: -All the important facts and figures on every aspect of her remit -Straight answers across the board -Sincerity and openness -Respectful and happy to take criticism on the chin and even rebut without being rude. What a politician. No matter what side of the fence you're on, you can't deny that this is how all politicians should conduct themselves in any scenario presented to them. It's really quite a simple formula when you see it in practise- Know your stuff, be honest, be professional, respect others, stand by your convictions.

She was a liar who mislead the British public about her governments support for Chilean dictator and mass murderer Pinochet. She lied to cover up Pinochet's appalling reign of terror, rape, abduction and murder in order to sell him arms that were used against his country's population. This was only the tip of the iceberg of the perversion, psychopathy and dishonesty of this vile woman, but it perfectly illustrates her hypocrisy and absolute lack of morals.

[@seanworrall3413]

Yes - she was marvellous throughout her career, in terms of staying thoroughly briefed. (I lived through the Thatcher era and) She did get a bit too 'grand' in the latter days of her administration. Power corrupted her own sense of importance, eventually. But she was a wonderful woman, and a consequential PM. Much better than Churchill (he was a terrible MP and stupid minister throughout most of his career - apart from his exemplary leadership of the war cabinet from May '40 to July '45).

[@miikavihersaari3104]

There are schools in worse shape and we're dealing with them first." "You should give free lunch to everybody." Certainly not." "We can afford all the things." "No, we can not."

Maybe she could make the little decisions ok but when it came to major things like war or taxes she made the wrong moves.

[@AnimatedBlast]

Inspirational Videos oh no, let’s make the ‘poor’ pay their way in this world! We can’t have that! And never mind the fact taxes were much lower in those days. Let’s keep the classist hierarchy! Rather than help them and elevate them like she did let’s keep them poor and encourage their population to increase, as it equals more votes! Let’s be weak cowards and ‘negotiate’ rather than seeing the enemy for what they are and charging ahead like loyal Brits. She saved Britain just for Blair to destroy it. RIP The last true conservative. Bless Maggie.

[@Dunnlrs]

Inspirational Videos I am old enough to remember that the lowest tax back in 1979 was 37.5% and the highest was about 80% which lead to the brain drain. Thatcher brought down basic income tax to 25%. I remember that interest rates were on average 15%. After Thatcher this had fallen to 8%, still high but half of what it was before. I Remember inflation being 26% which lead to the winter of discontent where rubbish was not being collected, the dead were not buried, power cuts and the army having to step in to run basic services. I Remember in 1979 that 65% of the population lived in rented property or in council houses. Today it is the opposite. I remember 1979 that shares and bonds were only reserved for the rich. Today anyone is able to purchase shares. I remember in 1984 that the government subsidies for a miner was £100,000 per year to keep an unsustainable industry working. I agree that Thatcher was hard on communities, but at the time the country which had a culture of living and being dependent on handouts needed someone who was hard. Today there are more people who run their small businesses ranging from painting decorating to IT specialists. Back then before Thatcher this would have been unimaginable. Before Thatcher the UK was the most regulated country in the West, for example even furniture removal companies (such as Abels) were in public ownership. Britain had to be bailed out by the world bank (a bit like Greece) in 1976, the country was bust. Thatcher changed that. Falkland war?? The UK (Falkands) was attacked, she did what the vast majority in the country agreed with, that’s why she had a landslide victory. She will go down as marmite but she had an major influence on the UK and put the country that was over taxed, over regulated and strangling itself back on the world map.

Her natural voice was soft and low and easily lost in robust exchanges or large spaces, so she learned to modulate her public voice to be lower, slightly harsher register and paced differently...and that's the difference between how we heard her at the despatch box in Parliament or interviews later and this one.

[@JimChap]

The lady constantly interrupting at 13:40...She wishes to appear as the hard hitting, hard nosed questioner who pushes the politician hard to get answers for "the people". Unfortunately her obvious lack of intelligence causes her to be totally unaware as to what level of interruption is reasonable, what real world example is practical to use as a basis for policy questions, how confrontational to be, and how blatantly partisan to show herself to be....Just a complete miss - only tolerable if the watcher utterly despises Thatcher, otherwise most will say "steady on, stop bloody interrupting"

Thankfully I am still experienced enough in life to know that the reason I appreciate her is exactly the same reason you don't.... because she is a fountain of information, and you're not. She, like capitalists in general are confident in their ability to do well in life and earn whatever comes as a result. Knowing you would never compare to her in this respect, or any other like minded peoples for that matter, renders you anti-success, which is the root of your anti-capitalist stance. People out there will do better than you if left to their own, and so, you don't want anyone to be left alone and able to make decisions for themselves. You beleive in a world where we all collectively regulate the situation so that those who actually create value aren't able to reap like-for-like benefits of it.

If she had been called Mrs Brown, "Mrs Brown the Milk Snatcher" would not have worked. Perhaps she was not very good at politics? Perhaps she was overrated?
